I have scaled the mountain, dear reader. My joy knows no bounds. (Enter appropriate John Denver song here)

For the third time in my Google Reader history, I have whittled and read my way down to a big fat zero. For the time being, I have read EVERY.SINGLE.POST by EVERY.SINGLE.BLOG. on my subscription list.

Is there some kind of award for this? Won't one of you crank that out for me, say, in the next hour or so? Because, I know you have nothing better to do on a Saturday morning. I'd love to have it on my sidebar while it still applies.

And please, no one else post for the next 24 hours so I can relish the feeling of having accomplished something, anything, this week.

Verse of the Day

Hey there!

I recognize that all my blessings come from my Heavenly Father. I want to be sure to give Him joyful praise for who He is.
On this journey with me:
The Cruise Director (16),
The Affectionate One (14) and Whirling Dervish (13). That's right, all teenagers. Chocolate, prayers and lots of coffee appreciated.

Remember:

Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have the exact measure of the injustice and wrong which will be imposed on them, and these will continue till they have been resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they suppress. --Frederick Douglass

Men, whether great or small, are still but men, and men are dust. To trust in the many is folly, to rely upon the eminent few is madness; to depend upon the Lord alone is the only sanity.
